philmayfield 6,115 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Excellent programme on The Beatles Ch.4 last night. It was interesting to see that their hairstyles, which were supposedly outlandish at the time, actually looked quite short and smart by today’s standards. I glimpsed myself in the bathroom mirror this morning before I’d brushed my hair and realised I had a Beatles style - a bit greyer though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waddo 921 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Years ago in woolies ,you could buy a plastic Beatles wig!! Can't remember how much, but it just looked like a black shower cap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,115 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Funnily enough I’ve just opened The Times weekend edition and it says”what to eat to boost testosterone”. Apart from pumpkin seeds it looks like I’m eating all the right stuff. Perhaps that’s the missing ingredient. I’m off to the Newark Waitrose - they’re bound to sell it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sue B 48 1,226 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I watched it too Phil, really enjoyed it and you're right they looked smart compared with what you see now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,454 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 That programme was originally a film and DVD release from a couple of years ago. You can get it for not very much on Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beatles-Eight-Touring-Years-Special/dp/B01LTHLQ0K/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1515251101&sr=1-1&keywords=beatles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nnsc 131 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Just reading a book entitled 'Beatles 66' which was a game changing year for them. They changed from a gang of four to four individuals that year, did their last live show at Candlestick Park, Lennon met Yoko and Epstein appeared to have lost overall control of them which probably started the long road to going their separate ways.

nnsc 131 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Just wondered if anyone here saw The Beatles at the Odeon on this date and kept their ticket as this one got a good price recently? 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waddo 921 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Not a bad return for a 15 Bob outlay, just think how much you would be worth if you paid for everyone to get in !! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nnsc 131 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Here's a few. I haven't a clue about value. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mess 616 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 I collected a full set of these back at school in 1964 and then gave them away to my Maltese pen friend. Never imagined they'd be worth money in years to come. Thinking back there was so much Beatle stuff around then like magazines, vinyl including the Christmas flexis and even autographs which are worth good money these days. I did manage to keep my vinyl however which includes a pristine stereo copy of "Beatles for Sale" which is quite valuable. This site is worth a look if you don't know it. https://www.tracks.co.uk/category/beatles-memorabilia/novelty-collectibles/bubblegum-cards/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nnsc 131 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Hi Mess I have that LP too, although not pristine 4 of my more interesting, though not so common records! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
